The gods of Talmenor include philosophies given name as well as powerful once-mortals. Most gods are very mysterious and do not interact with the peoples of Talmenor directly, even through prayer; when a mage casts a divine spell, they are instead channeling energy from the god’s Sphere of influence. Not all gods are worshipped in all parts of the world, though most recognize the gods listed below.
Carro, the Paladin God
Alignment: Lawful Good
Favored Weapon: Sword
Spheres: the Light, healing, valor, protection, law and order, good
Call your faith what you like; when you defend another selflessly, you are in fact serving Carro, no matter what side you say you’re on!
Professor Cornelius Hawthorne
Jarilon, God of Storms
Alignment: True Neutral
Favored Weapon: Scythe or Sickle
Spheres: storms, the sea, the sky, shelter, water, wind
There was meaning to that storm, to all its fury and healing rain, that I could not find in the rest of my wretched life.
Sirith the Nathssysn
Lunaria the Shape Shifter
Alignment: Chaotic Good
Favored Weapon: Bow
Spheres: nature, trickery, shapeshifters, druidic magic
They say the tree giggles when you trip over its root.

Mamea the Mother Goddess
Alignment: Neutral Good
Favored Weapon: Spear
Spheres: nature, fertility, community, protection of home and hearth, family bonds
Every great warrior has a woman behind him. You might not see her, but her presence is felt through the warrior’s conviction and vibrant health. That is who Mamea is: the hidden strength, the healing touch, the inspiration of life.
High Priestess of the Nulst Empire
Merrana, Goddess of the Arts
Alignment: Chaotic Neutral
Favored Weapon: Whip or Sling
Spheres: beauty, creativity, music, freedom, travel
What is music if it stays only on one note? If it sounds once, long and fading, never again, like the dull stones of the grave? We Merran follow the moons and the tide and the swaying of grass-heads in the wind, not the still, painted figures in your holy books who may hear much but say nothing of note.

In these courts, the only person permitted to speak truth with no consequence is my jester.
Queen Caitlin of Tarith
Seri-Jon, God of Prophecy
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Favored Weapon: Staff
Spheres: the stars, knowledge, prophecy, terrible omens
Ware Seri-Jon’s eye upon you. Once He sees you, your fate is sealed.
La’aln saying
Shen-Bahan, God of Peace and Artifice
Alignment: Lawful Good
Favored Weapon: Crossbow or Gun
Spheres: the Light, ultimate good, philosophy, law and order, progress, artifice
Love the sinners, but hate their sins. Everyone has a spark of the divine Shen-Bahan inside them. It is only through being held accountable to His law that such a spark can grow into the fire of faith.
Keelon Sunwalker of the Ice Plains
Sirillon, God of Fire and the Sun
Alignment: True Neutral

Is Sirillon good or bad? Well, now, that depends on if you live on the tundra or in the desert, now doesn’t it?
